Verdict
Astorgs Galaxy has shown some potential and makes her handicap debut on a very lowly mark. Apparently hasn't improved from a reasonable opening run and faces a stiff task so this can go to TENOR. Roger Varian's colt came with a late burst to score at Yarmouth and appeared unlucky in-running when odds-on at Nottingham. Kastini won a minor handicap at Lingfield in July but disappointed when stepped up a class on a return visit. Spieta ran far too bad to be true here last time and would have a chance on his earlier form.
